I'm sure Gabriel will pass by here at some point so I want to ask a question: do you find that going into an industry where you have absolutely no "first mover" advantage, where several others are already "doing it better" and where those you're competing against are so insanely "better resourced" than you daunting or comforting?
I guess what I'm trying to learn from you is what your mental state is like on a day to day basis: are you a long term thinker? Do you believe that you have many many years to solve the problem well and compete? Do you believe that DDG may die at any minute but you simply don't care? Do you know unequivocally that you can do this better than anyone and it's just a matter of sticking it out?
I'm definitely "a long-term thinker." I've already been at it for over 3.5yr :).
However, I got into it out of pure interest with no original intention/particular belief that it would get this far. Now though, I believe we have an established long-term vision and are executing on it.

Yeah. So that's my question :)
